Either I have a lot of DeAtramentis scented inks in my ink box, or I need to go play the slot machines or something. Calm down, we are NOT taking a trip to the casino (at least not today). A while back I splurged on samples of just about every scented ink DeAtramentis makes (samples purchased from the supreme
Goulet Pens, don't you know), and so my ink box is a little skewed in that direction. But I don't mind!
Today we have a Chocolate ink that really does smell like chocolate. But only in the bottle. And even though it is a beautiful ink, it's a little too reddish for my taste. This is definitely not milk chocolate. In my book it would do pretty well not as a brown, but as a deep dark red. It may be just the color for you, however! Give a shout-out below and tell me what you think.
I like that it is chocolate scented, but it does look a little more red than brown. I was expecting a milk chocolate colored ink.
ReplyDeleteYes, if you want a milk chocolate-colored ink, there are plenty of fine candidates out there. I am especially fond of Montblanc Toffee Brown. But I don't know of any that are scented.
DeleteI actually like that deep shade of red, so this colour looks great to me! But it does seem like a rather odd colour to have the name of "Chocolate", as I would also have expected it to be more brown.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Upon further reflection, I think my biggest problem with this ink is the name. It is a beautiful shade of red, so they should have given it a red name -- "Cranberry" perhaps?
